Unless I'm missing something, you can only save changes to the "notebook" accompanying each game when it is your opponent's move. I have often found I would like to save notes on a position when it is my turn, also. For example, I might have a look at a position, spot some significant tactical points, decide to come back to it when I have more time/a clearer head. I would like to jot down some notes about the thinking I have already done and save them so they appear when I next look at the position.
Presumably not a difficult change to make?

Not intuitive but it works.

Yes, you can do it by just pressing 'Submit move' without making a move.
Still, I wouldn't mind seeing a separate 'save notebook' link anyway. Doing it by pressing 'submit move' always makes me a little nervous that I might submit a wrong move accidentally.
Save text would be nice, this is not the first time someone asked for this.

I know, but it still seems like a case where a mistake could easily be made.
I was just giving you a foolproof way to ensure you don't have a move loaded.
Other than that, we wait on the admins who seem reluctant to make any changes to the code regardless how important or simple they are.

If you have any php scripts, maybe you could write a greasemonkey script to add the link "Save Notebook changes", with the underlying link being "javascript:document.notebookform.issavenotebook.value='true';document.notebookform.submit();"
